Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran Condemning the Aggressive Attacks by the United States Against an Iranian Oil Tanker and a Telecommunications Tower in Qeshm
(Unofficial Translation) 3 June 2026
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran strongly condemns the aggressive action by the terrorist military forces of the United States in attacking an Iranian oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz and a telecommunications tower on Qeshm Island, which was carried out in the early hours of Wednesday, 3 June, originating from the territory of two regional countries.
These aggressive acts constitute not only a violation of the ceasefire understanding dated 8 April, but also a blatant breach of the fundamental principle prohibiting the use of force under Article 2(4) of the Charter of the United Nations and international law.
While condemning the United States’ colonial-style use of the territory and facilities of regional countries to advance its aggressive schemes against Iran, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also underscores the direct and explicit responsibility of the rulers of Kuwait and Bahrain in connection with last night’s aggressive acts.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasizes that any country allowing aggressor parties to use its land, sea, airspace, facilities, or military bases located within its territory for the purpose of carrying out or supporting military aggression against Iran is in clear violation of the fundamental rules of international law and, pursuant to United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3314, shall be regarded as having committed an act of aggression against Iran.
In exercising its inherent right to defend Iran’s territorial integrity and national sovereignty, the Islamic Republic of Iran will utilize all available capacities to confront such aggressive actions, including through targeting the origin and source of the attacks.
It is self-evident that responsibility for the consequences and repercussions arising from this situation rests with the American-Zionist aggressors and all parties that facilitate their acts of aggression against Iran by placing their territory and facilities at their disposal.
